The discography of Lostprophets, a Welsh alternative rock band formed in Pontypridd in 1997,[1] contains three studio albums and twelve singles.

The band's first album, Thefakesoundofprogress, was released through Visible Noise in the United Kingdom in November 2000[2] and was certified gold.[3] The album produced two singles: "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja", which was successful in the US, peaking at number thirty-three on the Alternative Songs chart, and the title track "The Fake Sound of Progress".

The first single released from their sophomore album Start Something was "Burn Burn" in November 2003, and was originally scheduled to be closely followed by the release of the album.[4] The album was released in the UK in February 2004 and peaked at number four in the UK Albums Chart.[5] The album has sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.[3] The second track from Start Something, "Last Train Home", reached number one on the Alternative Songs chart,[6] and peaked at number eight in the UK, making it the band's first UK top-ten single.[5] Other released singles include "Wake Up (Make a Move)", "Last Summer" and "Goodbye Tonight". These singles helped Lostprophets achieve mainstream popularity. In 2004, the album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry in the United Kingdom.[7]

The band's third album, Liberation Transmission was released in the UK in June 2007 and put the band at the top of the UK Albums Chart for the first time;[5] it was later certified silver in the UK.[7] Singles from the album were "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)", which peaked at number eight,[5] "A Town Called Hypocrisy", "Can't Catch Tomorrow (Good Shoes Won't Save You This Time)" and "4:AM Forever".

The band's fourth studio album The Betrayed has been delayed many times.[8] The album's first single "It's Not the End of the World But I Can See It from Here" is due for release in October 2009.[9] The title and several tracks were revealed in the 5 August issue of Kerrang! magazine, and the release was confirmed to be January 2010.[10]
